Chapter 178: It's not easy to get along
Princess Rongpei is notoriously difficult to get along with in Beijing.
Jiang Cha waved his hand when he heard this, "Forget it, I don't have to go." β
Even such a good-tempered little guy thinks Rong Pei is difficult, so there is no need for her to go to this experience.
"Where else would the girl want to see?"
"Is there a good carpenter shop to recommend?" Jiang Cha decided to get the decoration of his shop first.
"It's not far away, and I ask the girl to come with me." The little guy said respectfully.
led Jiang Cha to a plaque shop called "Qingzhuxuan", and before the two of them approached, they saw a column of people outside who took the place one step ahead of them.
There were about dozens of people in the queue, all of whom were carrying wooden boxes in their hands.
"What is this?"
"Don't worry, girl." The little servant soothed, "This team looks like the maid entourage of some prince and nobleman's family, and they should have booked with the shop early in the morning and came to pick up things in the morning." β
When they are gone, it will not be too late for them to go up again.
"Okay." Ginger tea compromises.
When you go out, although you are not satisfied with the restrictions everywhere in the capital, you also have to learn to follow the customs of the locals.
After waiting outside for a stick of incense, the maids and attendants inside finally came out, but what was surprising was that Jiang Cha actually saw an acquaintance among these faces.
It's Li Jiaojiao.
She was in the ranks of the maids at this time, wearing a lilac dress with them, and she couldn't tell it if she didn't look closely.
The moment Li Jiaojiao came out and raised her eyes, she also saw ginger tea.
Since she went to the princess's mansion, she was immediately arranged to work as a maid, and she was instructed to come early in the morning to get something, and she was depressed, but she also met ginger tea with someone who came to rent a shop with her.
Thinking of the situation at this time, she gritted her teeth and endured the resentment in her heart, lowered her eyebrows and followed the team without saying a word.
"Yo, I didn't speak." Seeing the team leave, Jiang Cha sighed curiously.
She thought that Li Jiaojiao would at least choke her or glare at her twice.
"Girl, what's wrong?" The little guy was puzzled.
"Nothing." Jiang Cha hooked his lips, "Let's go in." β
"Yes."
After entering, the shop itself seems to have dealings with the housekeeper's grandfather, and after the little guy took out the wooden sign of the restaurant and made it clear that he was intended, the boss actually came to pick up the customers in person.
"What kind of shop design does Miss Jiang want?"
The carpenter boss showed his enthusiasm, and even took out a small wooden book at the bottom of the box, on which some courtyard patterns and shop layouts were recorded.
"It's all ready-made, and if the girl sees it, I'll be able to arrange for someone to do the work immediately."
"How long will it take?" Jiang Cha asked.
She curiously took the small wooden book in the hands of the carpenter boss, and many of the model patterns on it were exquisite and cute, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
"If the girl is in a hurry, it can be completed in five days at the earliest."
The mansion is ready-made, in fact, what needs to be done is to decorate the interior, as long as there is no big project to change the big layout or build another room, the cleaning and decoration is still very fast.
"We have a lot of furniture here that is ready-made, and the girls can choose their own."
While speaking, the carpenter boss introduced Jiang Cha, "Whether it is a cabinet, a chair or a table, you can choose the materials you want, if there are other special utensils, as long as the girl can provide a rough manual, it will be made in about three days." β
"So fast?" Ginger tea was said to be excited.
She glanced at some of the furniture and shop utensils placed in the faΓ§ade, the materials were all of the finest, and some oddly shaped small items were also hung on some wooden grids, which were new and playful, and they were dazzling.
"Our Qingzhuxuan workmanship has always been famous for its speed."
"Can you lend me this book back and take a look? When I settle down, I will ask someone to come and pay the deposit. Jiang Cha looked at the book in his hand.
She still has to think about the specific decoration for a moment.
"Absolutely." The carpenter boss agreed very happily.
"Thank you, boss." Ginger Tea smiled sweetly.
When she was about to go out, she suddenly noticed a small hollow iron ball placed on the wooden shelf at the door, and the hollowing process on the small ball was particularly ingenious.
She pointed to something and asked the boss, "Can I take a look at this?" β
The originally eager boss rarely crossed a trace of hesitation on his face, "This ......"
"It's okay if it's inconvenient." Jiang Cha hurriedly answered, "I just want to see it on a whim, it's rude that I want to take out everything on the shelf." β
"Miss Jiang is too worried."
The carpenter boss thought for a moment, but still took off the hollow iron ball.
"It's not a thing, it's something that my wife made when she had nothing to do before, so the girl can see it if she wants, but you have to be careful when you take it."
At first, he hesitated, because he was worried that this thing would accidentally stab the customer's hand.
Ginger Tea thanked the boss and took the iron ball.
Unexpectedly, there was almost no weight in her hand, and she was curious, "I thought it was iron, but it turned out to be copper?" β
"I don't know that." The boss scratched the back of his head, "What my wife is doing in private, I usually don't interfere much." β
"Is Madame at home today?" Can you please bother me? "Ginger tea came to interest.
She has always felt that if she wants to be a fat powder cosmetics shop, she must be careful in terms of packaging.
In ancient times, there were also folk rumors of buying and returning pearls, and the customers of these products were all female dependents, and the vast majority of female dependents did not necessarily buy them for their own use, and they may also be given away as face.
"The girl will have to come back another day." The boss said slightly apologetically, "Mrs. happened to go out today." β
"It doesn't matter, it's good that Mrs. Zun is willing to see me." Ginger Tea said politely.
"My wife is still quite kind, if Miss Jiang is interested in this thing, she must have a topic with her, she can't be happy, how can she not want to see you." The carpenter boss laughed.
"The lady is free, can the boss please ask someone to pass me on the news, or can we set a time today?"
"Everything." The boss nodded.
Jiang Cha thought about it, but chose the former, after all, he was the one who proposed the invitation, and the initiative of meeting or not was in the hands of the carpenter boss and his wife, and he also seemed to know etiquette.
After deciding on this matter, Jiang Cha couldn't help but ask more when he left, "Dare to ask the team of people who came to the shop to pick up things before us, who is the maid of the He family?" β
She wanted to know who Li Jiaojiao had taken refuge in in a short period of time.
"You said those people just now." The carpenter boss didn't hide it, "The girl just came, it may not be clear, but you can see from the clothes that she is from the princess's mansion." β
"Princess's Mansion?"
"That's right, the famous Princess Rongpei."
